Within their overall good performance, the national cast had five players who finished in double digits: Luciana Delabarba, Andrea Boquete and Julieta Mungo scored 12 points, while Melisa Gretter and Agostina Burani scored 11.

For her good performances throughout the tournament (she was the top scorer of the tournament), Delabarba was part of the ideal quintet of the South American, while the Brazilian Kamila Soares stayed with the MVP. Beyond the result, it is worth noting the power of Brazil and Argentina in the region, as they starred in 13 of the last 15 editions of the South American Championship.
